I got this motorcycle i want to ride across the wasteland, so i set it up with animations for the wheels turning, turning right, turning left and hopping on the backwheel. I assigned to each its own control arrow key and the space bar for the one-wheel stunt.

When i ride i usually and instinctively keep pushed the UpKey while at the same time push the LeftKey or RightKey when i want to turn and release it only if i want to push the DownKey if i want to go backwards. Also when i want to do the stunt animation i do it while the UpKey is pressed.

My problem is that when i push any key while keeping down the UpKey, the animation switches to the last keyframe immediately without playing it. I would like the animations to play at least once and then hold the last frame until i resume pushing only the UpKey...

So... my question is: How do i do all that stuff that i just said i wanna do?

I included for your convenience the entire project so you can play it and take a look... OH!! One thing before i forget: the project is set to work at 1600x1200, you may want to change that before running it!

Thanks in advance!

umm... for some reason, i don't know why i try to upload the rar file with my project but i keep on finding this "automatic_file"... so i don't know... the file should be a 15Mb rar file.

Anyway here is the code, there is no texture or X file provided thou:

#include "DarkGDK.h"

void DarkGDK ( void )

{
dbSyncOn ( );
dbSyncRate ( 100 );
dbMakeCamera (0);
dbAutoCamOff ();

dbSetDisplayMode (1600,1200,0);
dbSetWindowOff ();

//load mouse pointer image and hide the mouse
//dbLoadImage ("cursor.png",1);
//dbHideMouse ();

dbLoadImage ("enviro.jpg",2);
//camera position
dbPositionCamera (0,500,0);
dbSetCameraRange (1,2000);

Quote: "So... my question is: How do i do all that stuff that i just said i wanna do?
"

i've lost faith in dbLoopObject... it never seemed to work with me...

instead, i use a variable to keep track of the frame count

+ Code Snippet

	float	 frameCount;

and, in the mainloop, i use this lil diddy to keep the object animation looping (placed somewhere in the mainloop)...

+ Code Snippet

  if (frameCount==dbTotalObjectFrames(objID)) {
	  frameCount=0.0;
	  Dwarf->StartAnim();
  }

here's the start and stop anim functions...

+ Code Snippet

void	Dwarf::StartAnim(){
	dbSetObjectFrame(objID,frameCount);
	dbPlayObject(objID,frameCount);
}

void	Dwarf::StopAnim(){
	dbStopObject(objID);
    frameCount=dbObjectFrame(objID);
}

and here's what i do when i want to stop and restart the animations...

+ Code Snippet

switch(dbScanCode()){
			case 20:
				Dwarf->StartAnim();
				break;
			case 21:
				Dwarf->StopAnim();
				break;
		     }

i hope this helps... you should be able to figure out the relevant parts, as originally, this is from some of my OOP code which is set up for class methods and calls...

good luck

i did a bare minimum of improvisation but i don't quite understand how to adapt your suggestions to my code, and if i compile it it gives a few errors like:

Quote: "1>e:\all projects\project shelter\8 game code\shelter\shelter\main.cpp(79) : error C2063: 'StartAnim' : not a function
1>e:\all projects\project shelter\8 game code\shelter\shelter\main.cpp(79) : error C2601: 'Dwarf::StartAnim' : local function definitions are illegal
1> e:\all projects\project shelter\8 game code\shelter\shelter\main.cpp(54): this line contains a '{' which has not yet been matched
1>e:\all projects\project shelter\8 game code\shelter\shelter\main.cpp(82) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation"

Where am i supposed to go from here?

StartAnim and Stop Anim are methods of the Dwarf class... you wouldn't call those, seeing as you are not using classes...

look at the code in Dwarf::StartAnim, and Dwarf::StopAnim...

simply write that lil bit of code into two separate functions called StartAnim() and StopAnim()... putting the appropriate object number in the code...

then call em in place DwarF::xxx...

in short, you are keeping the frame count and using it to start and stop the anim... and, to keep it going...

ok... change this...

+ Code Snippet

  if (frameCount==dbTotalObjectFrames(12)) 
{
	  frameCount=200.0;
	  Dwarf->StartAnim();
}

  void	Dwarf::StartAnim()
{
	dbSetObjectFrame(12,0);
	dbPlayObject(12,200);
}

void	Dwarf::StopAnim()
{
	dbStopObject(12);
    frameCount=dbObjectFrame(12);
}

to this...

+ Code Snippet

  if (frameCount==dbTotalObjectFrames(12)) 
{
	  frameCount=200.0;
	  StartAnim();
}

  void	StartAnim()
{
	dbSetObjectFrame(12,0);
	dbPlayObject(12,200);
}

void	StopAnim()
{
	dbStopObject(12);
    frameCount=dbObjectFrame(12);

almost there fabio...

first, i'd put the variable declaration for frameCount outside the loop...

second... change StartAnim() to look like this...

+ Code Snippet

 void StartAnim()
{
	dbSetObjectFrame(12,frameCount);
	dbPlayObject(12,frameCount);
}

this restarts the anim at the last frameCount...

finally...

add this so that the top of your mainloop looks like this...

+ Code Snippet

         frameCount=dbObjectFrame(objID);
	 if (frameCount==dbTotalObjectFrames(12)) 
{
	  frameCount=0.0;
	  StartAnim();
}

this constantly retrieves the frameCount, keeps the object animation looping by resetting it if frameCount equals total frames, and in case you press the stop anim key the frameCount is always ready for when you restart the anim...

It's a lot clearer now, thanks!

So at this point, if i use something like:

+ Code Snippet


	 //main loop
	 frameCount=dbObjectFrame(12);

	 if (frameCount==Total_frameCount) 
	 {
	  frameCount=1;
	  StartAnim();
	 }	

// move character forward
	 if (dbUpKey()==1)
	 {
		 dbMoveObject(12,1.0f);
		 StartAnim();
	 }

	 if (dbUpKey()==0)
	 {
		 StopAnim();
	 }

// move character backward
	 if (dbDownKey()==1)
	 {
		 dbMoveObject(12,-1.0f);
		 StartAnim();
	 }

// turn character right
	 if (dbRightKey()==1)
	 {
		 dbTurnObjectRight(12,1.0f);
		 StartAnim();
	 }

// turn character left
	 if (dbLeftKey()==1)
	 {
		 dbTurnObjectLeft(12,1.0f);
		 StartAnim();
	 }

how do i control which frames of the animation are to be played?

for example the animation of the character is split in 5 phases:

walk 0/60
run 61/110
stand 111/111
take 112/134
pick up 134/200

well here is what i tried, but i'm not sure if my guess was anywhere near to what i should have done...
